These parts ensure your vehicle handles safely and comfortably. Steering components, like the rack and pinion or tie rods, control the direction of your wheels, while suspension parts, such as shocks, struts, and control arms, absorb bumps and maintain tire contact with the road for a smooth, stable ride.
Proper wheel alignment ensures that your tires meet the road at the correct angle, helping your vehicle drive straight and reducing uneven tire wear. Alignments improve handling, fuel efficiency, and overall safety, while extending the life of your tires and suspension components.
Ball joints are crucial components of a vehicle’s suspension system that connect the control arms to the steering knuckles. They allow for smooth movement of the suspension while enabling the wheels to turn. Worn or damaged ball joints can cause uneven tire wear, poor handling, and unsafe driving conditions, making regular inspection and maintenance essential.
Tie rods are key parts of a vehicle’s steering system that connect the steering rack to the wheels. They transmit the force from the steering wheel to the wheels, allowing precise control and directional stability. Worn or damaged tie rods can cause steering play, uneven tire wear, and unsafe handling, making timely inspection and replacement important for vehicle safety.
Control arms are vital components of a vehicle’s suspension system that connect the wheel hub and steering knuckles to the frame of the car. They help maintain proper wheel alignment and absorb road shocks, ensuring a smooth and stable ride. Worn or damaged control arms can cause poor handling, uneven tire wear, and noise, making timely inspection and replacement crucial for safety and performance.
The rack and pinion and steering gear box are essential components of a vehicle’s steering system. The rack and pinion converts the rotational motion of the steering wheel into the linear motion needed to turn the wheels, providing precise control and responsive handling. The steering gear box performs a similar function in other types of steering systems, helping to amplify the driver’s input for smoother, easier steering. Proper maintenance ensures safe, accurate steering and prevents excess
Struts and shocks are critical components of a vehicle’s suspension system, designed to absorb bumps and vibrations from the road. Shocks control the movement of the springs, ensuring a smooth ride, while struts provide structural support and also absorb impacts. Properly functioning struts and shocks improve handling, stability, braking performance, and tire longevity, ensuring a safer and more comfortable driving experience.
